Welcome to our third
official growing season! We are excited to provide our community with
the best organically/biodynamically grown produce and cut flowers. We
are committed to the re-connection of people with the bio-region they
live in.
Our
CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) encourages locals to explore the
food that can be grown in the area, and passive season extending
practices that bring us treats such as tomatoes and peppers. At Copper
Moose, we believe the farm is a living organism, treating it with the
utmost respect and care.
The
Gardens:
We
are currently growing on about 2 acres, but have plenty of room to
expand. During the summer months we grow salad mixes, carrots, beets,
broccoli, potatoes, leeks, garlic, onions, scallions, turnips,
radishes, arugula, tatsoi, mizuna, kale, chard, cabbage, Chinese
cabbage, asparagus, thyme, cilantro, dill, oregano, terragon, chives,
mint, summer squash, and cut flowers in our outside growing beds.
Meanwhile, the greenhouse produces heirloom tomatoes, peppers, melons,
cucumbers, eggplant, and basil. During the winter months, all of our
growing moves inside our 2400 sq ft passive solar greenhouse. Currently
we do not sell produce during the winter months, but we are able to
produce enough fantastic vegetables to keep our families well fed
during ski season.
We
use crop rotation, cover crops, compost, compost tea, organic soil
amendments and Biodynamic methods and preparations to ensure that our
land is and will remain the most fertile and productive for generations
to come. We support healthy populations of insects, birds, and animals
that maintain a balanced ecosystem on our farm. At Copper Moose Farm we
believe it starts and ends with the soil, so we pay the utmost care and
attention to the life and health of our soil.
